Jack, IMHO, how to convince and establish constructive relations with managers and other team members is a big challenge for an experienced EMC engineer. If unfortunately failed, we should improve our communication skills even though we were correct in terms of insisting our professional integrity. There's something similar to the difference between IQ and EQ.
Does it make sense? Please correct me. Best Regards, Barry Ma ------------- Original Text From: "Schanker, Jack" <jschan...@adaptivebroadband.com>, on 7/30/99 8:00 AM: To: Rich: I want to thank you, and compliment you, for so accurately describing managment reactions to regulatory "problems" in your July 20 posting to the emc-pstc. It completely mirrors my own past (and continuing) experiences. I have also gotten the reaction "well, that doesn't make any sense" in relation to an inconvenient rule in some international standard. "Why did they do that" ? is asked, like I should know. Then the big question: "Can we get a waiver"? Dialogue: "No, I don't think so." Manager: "Did you try"? The years of experience and intuitive feel for what is and what is not possible, mean little to the uninformed arrogance of a manager who is used to having it his way (almost always "his") and expecting the world to turn at his command. The "bad news" aspect also looms large, as you so aptly describe. Gotta get back to work. Jack Jacob Z. Schanker, P.E.
